MVC's is going to be one of the best races this year with a close finish as always. i see haverhill barely getting it. woodman and penney and leary have been improving alot and fullertons 1st place finish is a always a nice to have with wang at 3 or 4. BTW, ne one the Meet Record? does fullerton have a shot and will he go for it?

Fullerton will go for it, he is not going to back down at all.

ya, its gonna come down to haverhill, chelmsford, and methuen. Iam not saying that the other schools arent good cause they are, dracut and billerica improved alot from last year, lowell is always competitive and andover has a good group, central catholic is young and they showed some promise for the future by winning the freshman Battle of the Border Meet. They just dont have enough to take down the top 3.

[mvcrunner9]

Personally, I just see the mvc race as a two team dogfight between haverhill and chelmsford, I just dont think methuen can compete with them in the invitational format unless they have a strong surge for the MVC meet and show us something we havent seen yet this year

[Distancekid601]

I agree. Methuen will need a strong race from their 4th and 5th runners. This will be a close one.

You better bite your tongue until the meets over. It's a slim chance but their 4 and 5 guys are a hell of alot better than they were back in early September.

Remember back in 2004

Methuens Dual Meet Record 6-3

They came back to win the MVC meet by two points over Haverhill when probably less people where expecting them to win it then now. I think they also went on to beat the three teams they lost to in dual meets again at EMASS two weeks later coming in third behind Newton North and Brockton.

Now Im not saying Methuen is going to definately win it because I agree Haverhill and Chelmsford are the ones to beat but I don't think you can ever count out Methuen at the end of the season.

[pinkie_and_da_tube]

what about the girls race?

chelmsford?
haverhill?
dracut?

[pinkie_and_da_tube]

anddd chelmsford boys are going to win. they are undefeated so far, and they are looking really good. also i think that chirs brown will win. vinny cheveliar, mike louis, ryan, greg wilson and john doherty will be top 20. and mike foughy is also really fast.

u were hiding the fact that ur from chelmsford well up until that statement either that or u dont know who pat fullerton is

u are hiding the fact that you are pat fullerton

[pinkie_and_da_tube]

i know who fullerton is. i just think that brown is going to win.

i also think that cheveliar will beat wang.

[runningwild]

i know who fullerton is. i just think that brown is going to win.

i also think that cheveliar will beat wang.
Haverhill vs Chelmsford
Fullerton H 16:15
Brown C 16:27
Wang H 16:31
Chevalier C 16:51

brown is a talented runner but there is now way he can beat pat, i can seem him hanging on for 2 miles but thats it and as for saying wang will lose to chevalier is bold. to make up 20 seconds is alot, chevalier could crack the top 10 but i will be shocked if he beat wang.

[clifbar]

I don't think anybody in the MVC will be touching Fullerton, but I think Chelmsford will pull of the team win

[mvcrunner9]

I think chevilar will beat wang in the mvc race simply because I have reviewed his times and I see that he comes up big in big meets, he is just the type of kid that you want running for you in a big mvc race and I am confident he will outkick wang and get the big win for chelmsford

[irun4fun mvc]

chelmsford has a very legit shot at taking it this year but you just cant count out haverhill and methuen they are two quality teams but i'd give chelmsford the slight edge with haverhill a close second

[mvcrunner9]

In no particular order

Fullerton-hhs
Brown-chs
Wang -hhs
MacDonald-cchs
Collier-mhs
Ortiz-mhs
Hanely-mhs
Chevalier-chs
Gonzalez-lhs
Roark-dhs

I got this as my top 10
Brown chs
Fullerton - hhs
MacDonald - cchs
Chevalier - chs
Wang - hhs
Ortiz - mhs
Collier - mhs
Wilson - chs
Roark - dhs
Sweeny - chs

[Distancekid601]

If you didnt see, Wang also runs well in big meets, look at his time at the catholic memorial race. He is good but i doubt he will beat wang. Haverhill and chelmsford was a big (important) meet and he was 20 seconds behind. i really doubt he can pull that off.

[irun4fun mvc]

sweeny? i thought he graduated last year

[darunna07]

Make up your mind.

[NErunner]

sweeny? i thought he graduated last year

His little brother I believe. And MVCrunner definetly isnt from chelmsford...No way is he biased at all.

haha my little brother runs JV and i graduated last year

[mvcrunner9]

haha my little brother runs JV and i graduated last year

oh, i had heard that he was coming off a tough offseason injury and was planning to come back at brown or the mvc meet and had a dramatic amount of potential, guess I heard the story wrong.

[clifbar]

haha my little brother runs JV and i graduated last yearI think he beat me at Brown by like 3 seconds

[irun4fun mvc]

anyone know if those hay barrels are going to be in the course like they were last time i ran there a few weeks ago? someone could go down and potentially alter the final standings of the race

[MagicMan]

how is fullerton gonna loose to brown at MVC's. he toyed with him at the dual meet blowing him away in the last mile and he ran about 40 secs faster at boston invite. brown is good and is a legit top 10 runner in the state, but fullerton has 2 much experience and speed to loose.

[SUPERFREAKS]

ok, people need to settle down, the bottem line is, Chelmsford boys have proved to be the best in the mvc, they'll do it yet again at mvc's, end of story [and Brown doesn't even need to beat Fullerton for this to easily happen]

[msweenz]

thats what cross country is about

[runningwild]

thats what cross country is about
agree!! thats what makes this sport interesting, anythng can happen during a race that teams have no control over...if a runner falls down there coach cant call timeout to see if he is ok.

-----------------------------------------------------

Yeah your right Chelmsford has proved to be the best, but not by much. I could see Haverhill or methuen taking it. Its not a done deal just because they went undefeated doesnt give them the victory already. I wouldnt count anyone out at this point. There are always suprises at this meet.

That's ridicoulous, when I ran there early this year I do not remember them so it must be something new, but that is not part of cross country because the hay bails are not natural they are obviously put there, a fallen tree or branch is part of the race but the effect these hail bails can have on the mvc race could really change results a lot for runners and we could see a huge change in the top 10

everyone would run the same course...i dont see how it would change the top 10 or the order at all......minus a wrong turn i dont see how a individuals finish in a cross country race could be invalid

[irun4fun mvc]

someone could fall over the hay bale and that could knock them down a spot as opposed to just running the course

[mvcrunner9]

I totally agree that MOST of the time nothing will happen and the race will be completly valid but there is a chance that a premeir runner could fall from forces strickly not his own fault, do to another runners misstep over a haybail, even though I do think they bring excitment to a duel meet, a big mvc race like this they to me would be a little uncalled for just because as a runner like myself who puts a lotta time in during the summer, I would hate for my season to end that way

[mvcrunner9]

Since everyone has given their 2 cents on the varsity race any predictions on the jv race, I've heard there is gonna be a solid field this year, with chelmsford haverhill and methuen all carrying solid depth.

chelmsford's jv dominated us this year so not shutting anyone else down but i have a feeling they could smokeshow this year

its cuz theyve got an experienced JV captain

didnt see any scores, but i think methuen won over haverhill by a few points. chelmsford came in 3rd i think.

Chelmsford....70

Fullerton...H
MacDonald...CC
Brown...C
Roarke...D
Hanley...M
Wang...H
Ortiz...M
Collier...M
Shaw...A
Ripley...M

[mvcrunner9]

Not to rain on methuens or haverhills parade in winning the varsity race (ra ra), but to be honest its all about jv championships, and chelmsford absolutely smoke showed that race led by an amazing JV captain who gave the speech of his life prior to the race. Congrats Chelmsford JV I knew you had it in you, as for you other jv teams that werent up to par, theres always next yr.

[polyxc]

:eek:

:eek: :eek: :)

nice job, Methuen!

[outkickme567]

wow nobody was givinf any credit to methuen at the beggingn of the week but it seems like they showed us all they can do anything in big meets to win.....nice job guys

[Warrior]

Congrats to Methuen. They looked good last week at CMI and are really coming on. They seem to reload every year and peak when it counts. I think they will be a force at EMASS in 2 weeks.

[MagicMan]

congrats to methuen, making that 5 in a row :eek: in the best conference in new england arugueably. also, much props to angus, roarke, shaw, and ripley, big time races for all of them today and once again on paper means nothing when the race starts.

[pieinjector9]

I say Roark for the top 3!

4 Daniel Roark 305 11 Dracut 16:42 5:24

Well you weren't quite right but I doubt anyone even had him as fourth. If you didn't pull that out of your ass, and I assume you didn't as you must have had a reason, then good call.

[outkickme567]

[NErunner]

Methuen just amazes me. No matter how they look in september, they always find a way to win this meet. Nobody really gave them a chance. Congrats. Also great races by Roarke and Mcdonald.

the tru irony is all those runners have moved on and we counted a freshmen for our 5th man today. hopefully we keep it going like 02, 03, 04 and 05

[DeweyXC]

i also like those late votes for us. going into the meet we had 5 believers...we win and all of a sudden 2 more people vote for us:D

yeah, that's true, nobody gave them a chance, they all did awesome. but its all about what you train for, i think the best teams are the ones that can do well in all the races, or at least most of them.

[irun4fun mvc]

i'll give methuen a lot of credit but i think if the weather is better at emass then teams like chelmsford and haverhill can beat methuen but still good job methuen
